Greenpeace slammed WEF attendees for traveling to Davos in 'ultra-polluting, socially inequitable private jets'
The analysis – published late last week by Greenpeace and the environmental research firm CE Delft – showed that there was a significant uptick in private jet flights, many of which were short-distance, to airports near WEF's headquarters in Davos, Switzerland, during the 2022 summit. The group released the study ahead of WEF's 2023 summit, which is slated to kick off this week.
"Davos has a perfectly adequate railway station, still these people can’t even be bothered to take the train for a trip as short as 21 [kilometers]," she continued. "Do we really believe that these are the people to solve the problems the world faces?"
The study determined that 1,040 flights on private jets were recorded arriving and departing seven airstrips close to Davos during the week of the 2022 WEF conference. The private jet air traffic in the region represented an uptick of about 500 private flights relative to weeks before and after the conference. Therefore, Greenpeace estimated that those 500 flights, or 48% of all private jets in the area that week, were transporting conference participants.
A sizable number of the jets recorded short-distance flights with dozens flying less than 100 kilometers, the equivalent of 62 miles, to Davos. Greenpeace argued the majority of the flights could have been replaced with train rides.
In addition, private jets flying into the Davos area during the week of the 2022 forum emitted a whopping 9,700 metric tons of carbon dioxide. The study attributed 7,400 metric tons to planes servicing the conference. By comparison, the average person worldwide has an estimated annual carbon footprint of four tons.

They are just jealous.......................
How else are the going to get there fast enough to see their hookers?
They don’t plan to give up their expensive cars, caviar and champagne. They do plan to arrange things so that we do not have expensive cars, caviar or champagne.
Eco group slams Davos summit as global elites arrive in private jets to have sex with prostitutes of both sexes while screwing the world over.
Fixed headline
Saul Alinsky’s Rules for Radicals.
Rule # 4:
“Make opponents live up to their own book of rules.”
If we use that every day we will win.
It is good to see Greenpeace noticed the plutocrats were being plutocrats.
Any “unexplained sudden deaths” in this group? Yet?
What those DAVOS folks are saying is that "climate change" is a means of getting something else...like control of those who are actually concerned about "climate change."
The DAVOS crowd is so arrogant it doesn't even care if you know.
Make elites ride a bike to their meetings. That would stop the nonsense.
Private jet , isn’t that the only way to visit Klaus Schwab’s Alpine Retreat Davos
Uh, “green 💸” PIECE! Perhaps they don’t feel they’re getting their fair share?
I wonder if Greenpeace would be surprised that the Davos crowd doesn’t care?
whut the Davos crowd doesn’t encourage ride-share? theu cant Jetpool?
Seriously, good for them.
Whatever happened to meetings that Alex Jones used to talk about, such as Bohemian Grove?
LOL,, I heard that report that there are prostitutes in Davos.
Holy moley, are they going there for serious plenary sessions about saving the environment and structuring the world economy and all of that, or is this just basically party time?

“In mid-July each year, Bohemian Grove hosts a more than two-week encampment of some of the most prominent men in the world.”
The Davos crowd still goes there in the summer.
